WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States plans to redirect its funding for the World Health Organization to other United Nations programs after it withdraws from WHO next July, the U.S. State Department said on Thursday.
As part of its withdrawal, effective July 6, 2021, the United States will begin recalling officials from WHO offices and seek other partners to take over activities previously run by WHO, the department said in a statement.
